After watching his Crewe Alex side lose 3-2 at Doncaster on Saturday, manager Steve Davis said: "I'm really disappointed, we deserved at least a draw.

"It was cruel to lose like that, you go 2-1 up at the end and you think it should be enough. And it should be enough.

"We showed our soft underbelly for the third, but that was in time which shouldn't have been added on. And I'm not sure it was a free-kick for the second. But we still could have done better, anything can happen and we have seen a horrible side of football.

"The three minutes went up, it was a terrific free-kick and I thought 'fair enough' we'll take the point. But we were still playing so long after the three minutes which had been signalled. I could speak to the referee but there's no point.

"I was so pleased Callum scored, it would have been brilliant for him had it been the winner. Hopefully he can build on that, we know he can score goals.

"There is no point in dwelling on it, we have to move on. We were in a great position to climb out of the bottom four, but we have to learn from it and push on.

"The young players have to learn the game management, they need to know how to close games down. We have to be strong and deal with it better, and see the game through.

"I still think we played pretty well, we didn't deserve that. They are giving me everything, they are working hard, there are still positives. We have to lift them for a big game next week."
